Met Hillary and Ken at Katz's deli for lunch. They were on their way to see The Tenement Museum.(Tenement Museum) Now this is worth looking up, it is a fascinating museum where you tour an actual tenement where immigrants would live. I have been to it before, and am really not feeling well, so I didn't go back with them, but said good-bye to them at lunch. Dan joined us later as he was done for the day. We were disappointed in the lunch, it doesn't hold a candle to Zingerman's in Ann Arbor!
We said our good-byes, and Dan also went back to the room to do paperwork. I had the afternoon to myself.
I was on my way to meet a new friend, Marie, for a drink at the Boathouse, which is in Central Park. Took my time getting there, stopping at Bloomingdale's and Henri Bendel's to do a little shopping. I love Henri Bendel's, it is really a unique store. Ritzy, but fun and laid out well.
Walked through the park to meet Marie, and on the way, discovered the Central Park Zoo! There was a show going on, with seals. It was delightful and I stopped and watched. Unfortunately, i was also trying to call my doctor's office to get some meds sent to the Brooklyn RiteAid, but alas, they wouldn't do it without seeing me, suggested i go to Urgent Care. (oh, what a thought---in the middle of Brooklyn!)
Anyway, I met Marie for a drink, which was fun. The Boathouse is a beautiful spot.
I didn't stay long, as i really didn't feel well, and had had a full day.
Went back to the hotel, where there was a group up in the "Concierge Suite" for Dan's work group. met some people, but i really wasn't in it. Ended up going to dinner with another couple, who wanted to tag along with us to eat at Junior's. This is a great place, nearby and very casual, but famous for it's cheesecake. Everything was good! I had a wedge of lettuce, my very favorite thing, and a piece of Dan's fried chicken, excellent.
Went back gladly to take it easy. You will be noting i have NOT been able to take it easy!
